Klein Tools' new socket

The new Klein Tools 2-in-1 Coated Impact Socket features two of the most commonly used socket sizes, plus its 20 percent lighter than traditional impact sockets.

“Klein Tools looked to add innovation to a standard socket during the design process of this tool,” said Manal Patel, product manager at Klein Tools of Lincolnshire, Ill. “In addition to featuring two of the most commonly used sizes in one socket, this socket features a durable blue plastic coating that not only protects it against damage due to scratches and abrasion, but also make it easy to find in a crowded tool bag."

• High-torque, 12-Point design is easier to position and works with square fasteners;
